I was studying about Shaul (the Apostle Paul) and came across this video from Youtube. Tony Moore did an excellent biography regarding Paul. In the video, Tony photographed a rug that looks almost exactly like Hmong cloth. Please take a look and see what you think. Some people refuse to believe that Hmongs have absolutely nothing to do with the middle east but I disagree.
At
17:45, you will see the rug and the design. These are designs that are from the times of Paul and may have even been earlier. You have the triangles surrounding the cloth, the snail shapes bordering inside and then the puzzle-like design which indicates almost an exact replica of the Hmong art.
